Review of Budrus (2010) by Jim H — 05 Jun 2013

Ayed Morrar organizes a Gandhi-esque resistance to Israeli expansion into Palestine.

This powerful documentary captures the strength of the Palestinian people and serves as a welcome response to those critics who argue that the Palestinians exclusively resist their colonization through violence. Morrar emerges as a simple, honest, and austere man, and though the film drags at times, the overall message rings resoundingly.

Overall, it's good to see a positive story of resistance coming from this area of intractable differences.
